> Debian tends to be more up to date than Trisquel since it's usually based on the previous Ubuntu LTS.

Agreed with most of what you wrote, except this last bit ... it's a funny way to put it :)

Ubuntu is based on Debian, it "forks" from Debian "unstable" aka "sid" every 6 months (with a fair amount of additions and modifications). Debian stable is released roughly every 18 to 22 months, so it has similar age, on average, of Ubuntu LTS (uniformly every 24 months). But sometimes it's a year newer, sometimes a year older, etc.

I think they meant that Trisquels current release tends to be based on the previous Ubuntu LTS.
Ahhh that makes sense
